Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Linear Modeling</u>
Some situations can be modeled as linear functions. If we are in a situation where a linear model is suitable, then we need two sample points to make the model and predict future behaviors.
The linear function can be expressed in the slope-intercept format:
y = mx + b
Another equation of the line can be used when two points are given.
The equation of a line passing through points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) can be written as follows:
The population of beetles is a situation where we must apply linear modeling. Two points are given. For time t=0, the population is P=13. The point is (0,13). For time t=8, P=75. The point is (8,75).
Find the equation of the line:
The explicit formula is:
P = 7.75t + 13
Now we find when the beetle population is 161:
161 = 7.75t + 13
161 - 13 = 7.75t
7.75t = 148
t = 148/7.75
t = 19 weeks

5) 8% is equivalent to 8 cents so each item was $1.08
Than you know he spent 16.20 so you divided
1.08/16.20 which equals 15
So he got 15 items
6) the moon is 250,000 miles away which is about driving around earth 10 times which would take 6 months (not sure about this one)
Hope this helps!
Have a nice day :)
